Hi. I have this postfix instance to relay all mail to a relay host but I wish to make this instance also an archiving MX for a domain. Initially the configuration was:
mynetworks = 127.0.0.0/8 mailbox_size_limit = 0 inet_interfaces = loopback-only inet_protocols = ipv4 myhostname = domain.com mydestination = biff = no append_dot_mydomain = no soft_bounce = yes relayhost = *************** smtp_sasl_password_maps = *************** smtp_use_tls=yes smtp_sasl_auth_enable = yes smtp_sasl_security_options = smtp_tls_CAfile=/etc/ssl/certs/ca-certificates.crt smtpd_relay_restrictions = permit_mynetworks permit_sasl_authenticated defer_unauth_destination compatibility_level=2 In order to make it accept mail for a domain for archiving from the primary mail server, I removed the inet_interfaces so that it listens to public interface also and then configured the domain: mynetworks = 127.0.0.0/8 mailbox_size_limit = 0 inet_protocols = ipv4 myhostname = domain.com mydestination = biff = no append_dot_mydomain = no soft_bounce = yes relayhost = *************** smtp_sasl_password_maps = *************** smtp_use_tls=yes smtp_sasl_auth_enable = yes smtp_sasl_security_options = smtp_tls_CAfile=/etc/ssl/certs/ca-certificates.crt smtpd_relay_restrictions = permit_mynetworks permit_sasl_authenticated defer_unauth_destination compatibility_level=2 # # virtual_mailbox_domains = domain.com virtual_mailbox_base = /home/archive virtual_mailbox_maps = static:mail/ virtual_uid_maps = static:1000 virtual_gid_maps = static:1000 But now even locally generated email for domain.com was getting stored in the virtual mailbox instead of getting relayed to the relayhost. So made virtual_mailbox_domains= empty in main.cf and configured public interface separately in master.cf: mynetworks = 127.0.0.0/8 mailbox_size_limit = 0 inet_protocols = ipv4 myhostname = domain.com mydestination = biff = no append_dot_mydomain = no soft_bounce = yes relayhost = *************** smtp_sasl_password_maps = *************** smtp_use_tls=yes smtp_sasl_auth_enable = yes smtp_sasl_security_options = smtp_tls_CAfile=/etc/ssl/certs/ca-certificates.crt smtpd_relay_restrictions = permit_mynetworks permit_sasl_authenticated defer_unauth_destination compatibility_level=2 # # virtual_mailbox_domains = virtual_mailbox_base = /home/archive virtual_mailbox_maps = static:mail/ virtual_uid_maps = static:1000 virtual_gid_maps = static:1000 master.cf: xx.xx.x.x:smtp inet n - y - - smtpd -o virtual_mailbox_domains=domain.com 127.0.0.1:smtp inet n - y - - smtpd But this isn't working. The server is refusing to accept mail for domain.com on the public interface. In other words, how do I override virtual_mailbox_domains for the public IP? I wish to relay all locally generated emails to smarthost but store the email received on public IP for this domain. Thanks.
